The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has refuted claims that it is planning to replace Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo‑Markin and his team. General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong said the party remains satisfied with the current minority leadership and has not considered any changes.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, October 29, Frimpong accused those spreading the rumours of attempting to create confusion within the party’s parliamentary ranks. “Let me state it categorically. The party has never had any meeting. The party has never thought about even deliberating to change the leadership in Parliament. We have not. So those who are busily peddling lies and trying to create this confusion among the leadership in Parliament and the mighty Minority caucus will not succeed,” he said.
Frimpong also criticised individuals using social media campaigns to promote themselves as potential running mates for the 2028 general elections, saying the party’s constitution does not allow a public contest for that position. “There is nowhere in our constitution which says that running mate is selected through contest or through campaign. So the people who are busily urging bloggers to promote themselves, you are wrong,” he added.
The NPP maintains that any decision on parliamentary leadership or election running mates rests with the party’s flagbearer in consultation with the National Council, not with public campaigns.
